The Euro effects on intermediate and final exports.

This paper studies the euro effects on intermediate and final exports taking advantage of the world input-output dataset (WIOD). The originality of this empirical analysis is that it combines one of the most analyzed topics in international economics, the euro trade effects, with the theme of supply chain trade. The main findings are the following: i) the euro has positively affected Eurozone trade with a larger effect on intermediate flows relative to final exports; ii) the intra-area euro effect becomes either negative or not statistically significant when switching from a small sample of advanced economies to a larger group of emerging and developing economies. The paper provides some evidence that the heterogeneity of the euro effects between the small and the large sample can be explained by a missing variable related to the increasing relevance of supply chain connections between European countries.
